Problem with BinaryEncode and variable params

[Mark Schonewille]

If I execute the following

   put "0,0,1" into x
   put x+0

I get the error

Type: Operator (+: error in left operand)
Object: button id 1003 of card id 1002 of stack "Untitled 1"
Object name: Button
Line: put x+0 (row 3 col 7)
Hint:

Here, x is a string rather than a number and you can't do  
calculations on it. I bet a similar problem causes your data type  
error. Can you check what is in the variable before you execute  
binaryEncode?

Best,

Mark
